I don't really have a career plan. There's no joy for me to just be a personality in my work, and I feel that that's so much of what's out there.

I grew up doing stage work as a child and as a teenager, so the stage is my home where I feel most comfortable.

I just want to do great work: work that inspires people... To know that you are given this gift in life and that you can gift other people with it, that's the most rewarding thing for me.

I just love Bayonne. I love the parks. I love the pizzerias. I love the simple things in life, and it's all here.

And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.

I love acting so much that I have to have that as much as I have to have my time with my kid.
